@aaa: "Hi guys
I was looking forward to watching The Closer but ended up missing it.  Did 
any of you see it?  Was it any good?  I always get a bit wary when the 
adverts hype things up as much as they do.  However I do like Kyra Sedwick 
so thought it might be pretty good.

Yeah it's funny how Nine promoted it as some huge ratings hit in the US, yet 
ppl in the US I chat with have never so much as mentioned it. They're into 
Lost, DH, Surface, Threshold and a bunch of others."

I tried to record it but gave up because Ch9 started it so late that I
couldn't get the end without missing the beginning of Wilde on SBS, so The
Closer got the flick.
If it had actually started somewhere near the scheduled time I would've
given it half a chance, but not now."

Watchable , although I personally find the woman a bit ich... time will 
tell considering the script although a little predicatable was clean and 
well written in most parts."

Oh no, how late did CSI run? Better check my recording. "

Its a big pay TV hit not broadcast. Nein don't mention that tidbit.
IMHO it was very good, nicely written nicely characterised. Memo to Cold
Case conflict amongst the cops is a good thing. And this comes from someone
who can't really stand Kyra Sedgwick. The only think I would say is that if
interrogations are going to be a big think about each episode they better
make sure the subject is worth it because the woman in the first episode
looked easy although it was done well.

That episode of CSI was scarcely worth watching IMHO. Maybe they were 
trying to show how the work of a CSI is mostly rather dull. If so, they 
succeeded.

Yes.....
Just my opinion but it wasn't all that remarkable......
The end interrogation was good, like how she got the
woman to confess by making her stress out and wait.
Other then that it wasn't all that new and all that interesting.
Plot niggles here...........
If she is so good "CIA trained" and all then howcome she is
slumming it with a local police department? I suppose this
may be a future plot development but overall it didn't look
like it had been built up very well on first watching the show.
Will I watch it again?
Probably. I'll give it a couple more goes to see where the show
is going but on the whole it was like every other show out there."

Well, it was supposed to finish at 10:30 and Wilde was supposed to start at
10:35. Wilde was a couple of minutes late starting and at that time The
Closer was showing no signs of being wrapped up anytime soon. I would guess
that The Closer ran at least 10 minutes past when it was supposed to. I
know for a fact that it did run at least 7 minutes past the scheduled
10:30."

She did make mention of some 'ethics enquiry' in the past that would
make it difficult to get another job if this one failed, and that
she'd turned down an offer from Homeland Security.
Her reasons/past will probably be explored in forthcoming episodes
rather than spoonfeed you her entire backstory in the first episode.

Thanks for all the replies guys.  I really appreciate it. I think I will 
give it a go and watch the next episode. I'll give it a couple of weeks and 
see if it's worth continuing to watch it.
